Question of the Week
Monday, September 29th, 2008Via the Shakespeare Geek we learn that Kenneth Branagh is to direct Thor:
In a departure from his normal cerebral choices for directing, it seems British actor and film-maker Kenneth Branagh has decided to take on something a little less complex, the Marvel Studios version of “Thor”. “Thor” is based on the well known German/Norse God of Thunder, but in the Marvel Universe and prospective film, he has an alter-ego, a disabled medical student called Donald Blake, which makes the god have a more human/vulnerable side than some superheroes. The film has a scheduled released date of 2010.
We all have to eat. On to the Question of the Week!
Which Shakespearean role would you cast with which superhero (or super villain) and why?
I’ll get the ball rolling by casting The Flash as Puck. Who else could “put a girdle round about the earth/ In forty minutes”?
Enjoy!
